...mass impression of the entire crop during one national campaign. If they could view the full output for the 1936 election, many of them would probably be either discouraged at the low estate of politics as material for caricature or depressed at the downward course of the old art of cartooning. Significant was the fact that the Pulitzer Prize committee last May found not a single cartoon worthy of its $500 award...

He named the canvas The Road From the Cove, sent it to Pittsburgh, where it was judged preeminent by an exacting jury: precise Surrealist Pierre Roy of France; British Muralist Alfred Kingsley Lawrence; ailing Edward Bruce, director of the first Federal Art Projects; convivial Guy Pène du Bois.

With fearlessness that called for cheers from the entire audience, he saved it from the threatening advances of Jim (Jim's only display of emotion all afternoon.) But his hardest test was yet to come. Apparently unversed in the art of dousing a spinnaker, this hero attempted to close the object while still facing full into the gale. Result: one umbrella, inside out. Undaunted, he wheeled around, let the wind restore it to its original shape, closed it and returned triumphantly to his escortee...
